A Father's Covenant: 173 Promises for Consid. and Reflection
This book was a real gift to me as a woman. It was written/directed toward men, but what it did for me was to help me more clearly define the type of man I want to involve in my own and my children's lives. As a single mother of two sons (one 18 and the other 9), it offered me insight as to how to raise my sons--especially in the absence of a male role model. I want my boys to grow up to be enlightened, spiritual, loving, respectful, Godly men in their adult lives--to be successful in the relationships they form with adult friends, a potential mate, and in the relationships they form with their own children. This was a small, but very powerful book.

A Little Gem
This book has the ring of truth: simple, clear, truth. The book has a manly tone, so absent in our saccharine world. Any father who takes these promises to heart is going to become a better father and a better man. Instead of giving your old man another garish tie that'll hang forgotten in the closet, give him this little gem.
